Peter Steinberger
Peter is a pioneering developer and serial entrepreneur who founded OpenClaw, an open-source personal software project that has gone on to define our agentic future.
“I’m marveling at what’s possible now... what a time to be alive.”
Fatimah Hussain and Chloe Hughes
Fatimah (UC Berkeley) and Chloe (Stanford) came together to create Finnie, an AI scholarship finder that helps unlock education access for the next generation of students.
Mikhail Parakhin
Mikhail is Shopify’s Chief Technology Officer. As an early leader in machine learning and search, he is now pioneering what it means to be a truly AI-native engineering organization, where tools like Codex are used at enterprise-level scale.
Dr. Derya Unutmaz
Dr. Derya Unutmaz is an immunologist and professor at The Jackson Laboratory where he studies how human T-cells behave in disease and aging. He uses Codex to assemble large datasets on cancer mutations, accelerating work toward precision immunotherapy.
“Every day counts in medicine. If we can find cures a day earlier, that would save a lot of lives.”
Amrita Bhasin
Amrita is the co-founder and CEO of Sotira, an AI-powered platform helping companies recover value from surplus inventory. With Codex, she navigates complex systems in order to give unwanted goods a second life instead of letting them go to waste.
“With Codex, we’ve saved millions of pounds of unsold inventory from landfills.”
Mitchell Hashimoto
Mitchell co-founded HashiCorp, a company that engineers the invisible infrastructure behind the modern cloud. Codex helps him tackle complex engineering problems and evolve the tools other builders rely on, providing a runway for the world’s ideas.
Pietro Schirano
Pietro is a designer, engineer and founder of MagicPath, a collaborative canvas for turning ideas into working interfaces. He’s currently pursuing multiple new projects in parallel, using Codex to build working prototypes.
“I basically dreamed the whole flow. I woke up, went to my computer, and in a couple of hours the whole thing was built.”
Ashe Magalhaes
Ashe is a multi-faceted builder, having worked across machine learning, civic technology and even solar-power racing. She’s currently using Codex to foster her builder community through open source collaboration.
